Answer to Question 1

C
If the patient is unable to urinate on demand, offer fluids if permitted. Allow more time for urine to accumulate in the bladder. Try obtaining a specimen after 30 minutes. If the patient has no urine in the bladder, Cred's would not be useful. The risk for infection precludes the use of catheterization simply to obtain a specimen. If the patient is unable to void after several hours, the physician may need to be called to obtain an order for catheterization.

Answer to Question 2

D
Adjust the temperature to a more comfortable range and assess whether shivering decreases. If shivering continues, stop treatment and notify the physician.
